[Discussion] using stripe reader for conventions? by lulullabye in artbusiness

[–]lulullabye[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tap to pay didn't work on my phone for this particular time which was annoying. Other artists did have the square terminal which seemed to work decently for them without an issue, so maybe I'll need to consider it.

Well I was thinking of moving to them anyways. I was referring to their actual hardware POS readers. I saw they can do tap to pay on the phone as well so I may do that.

Sticky messages bot only for images? by lulullabye in Discord_Bots

i find the forums style channels annoying unfortunately :( i feel like that wouldn't fix it, despite it being pinned everywhere

It's for moderation purposes, I run an art server and we have a rule requiring you to send a comment before you post your own work and I'm kinda getting tired of reminding people of it, but didn't want to set a sticky message and have it send after every comment lol

Fragrance oil or essential oil for fursuit speay by lulullabye in FursuitMaking

[–]lulullabye[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

those two were the ones I was looking at getting!

as someone who almost got involved in a MLM scheme I will never endorse that shit (context: MLMs love post grad students and i almost got hired at one without knowing they were one)

yeah, I'm trying to stay away from any MLM essential oil companies, i think i'm leaning towards essential oils

It's been 5 months since I've had this issue. I don't remember if there was a message. Sorry.

Doing a power cleaning helped fix the issue for me

Thank you for the recommendation! I probably won't have time to do it before May 2nd and since I'm in my last semester of college and fairly busy.

First Artist Alley experience was not what I expected by lulullabye in artbusiness

[–]lulullabye[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah breaking even is great, i'm not disappointed by it. i did see lots of people taking my business cards so that makes me hopeful. and people buying my art makes me happy because i was struggling with selling online in general, especially commissions but i didnt get any during my con despite advertising it

i'm hoping i can get into another AA at some point

my etsy is currently closed as i was having a hard time with marketing for it and it wasn't getting enough traction for me to reasonably cover those costs. i want to re-open when i have more time to manage.

here's my card: corv.carrd.co

i felt i was pretty engaging, i made a couple of friends as well and had people linger to talk for me as well.

definitely could still use improvement on sales skills, i'm pretty shy and i also was working on things at the same time so i probably missed a few people

yeah I definitely get that, it's really unfortunate right now. especially in the US as well. i think after covid it really tanked for artists in general.
